Breaking News!!!! Senate reveal Those Behind Agatu Massacre by kissval1388: 10:24am On Mar 10, 2016
The Nigerian Senate has revealed
those behind the brutal killings that
ensued in Agatu communities of
Benue state.
Premium Times reports that the
red chamber on March 9, revealed
that the crimes of mass murder
across Nigerian communities were
carried out by “overpowered” Boko
Haram terrorists, not Fulani
herdsmen as earlier alleged.
This revelation was part of the
Senate’s resolutions that
accompanied a motion moved by
Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP-Taraba
State) on “the need to urgently
flush out Boko Haram insurgents
reassembling in Taraba State.”
“The Senate is aware that that
Nigerian Army has recorded
tremendous success in the war
against insurgents in the States of
Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa.
“There is a change of tactics by
insurgents who now parade as
herdsmen to make it difficult for the
public to identify them,” Bwacha
said.
The lawmaker asserted that several
communities in his Taraba South
constituency had fled because of
consistent attacks by Boko Haram
insurgents “masquerading as
Fulani herdsmen.”
Before this motion, Fulani
herdsmen have been on the spot
light as they are always accused of
mass murder as well as
destruction of farms in parts of the
country. The latest of such
accusation was the mindless
killings that took place in Agatu
communities.
Contributing to the motion,
Barnabas Gemade (APC-Benue
State) said Boko Haram insurgents
were “mixing with herdsmen to
cause trouble.” The lawmaker, who
had visited other states where such
attacks had taken place, lamented
the situation in Benue state.
Gemade revealed that there was a
community in Zamfara state during
his visit that had lost over 250
residents to Boko Haram
insurgents parading themselves as
herdsmen.
The lawmaker who disclosed that
Agatu is under siege, asked the
government to make sure
herdsmen have grazing space for
cattle in order to mitigate the
hazard of destruction of farms.
Abubakar Kyari (APC-Borno State),
in his contribution to the debate,
posited that Fulani herdsmen
should not be described as
“unfriendly.”
“When Fulani herdsmen or Kanuri
are being tagged as unfriendly, it
portends danger for the country
and freedom to live and work
anywhere,” Kyari said.
The red chamber unanimously
decided to condemn the killings,
kidnappings, destruction of
property and farms by “Boko
Haram insurgents” in communities
across Benue, Taraba, Plateau and
other states.
The Senate revelation might be
coming in as a shock against the
backdrop of the earlier disclosure
made by Ado Boderi.
The Nation reports that Boderi,
who spoke on behalf of the Fulani
community on March 3, accused
the farmers of killing 10,000 cattle
belonging to its members. He
made the accusation at a meeting
between Agatu community, Fulani
community and Inspector General
of Police, Solomon Arase.
Boderi acknowledged that it was
criminal minded people from both
sides that intensified the crisis
despite the swift intervention of the
state governor.
No fewer than 300 people were
killed in Agatu community by
suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Residents of the community in
reaction to the killings on March 2,
carried out a peaceful protest to
express their displeasure over the
incident.

What's the difference between Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen, their spiritual leader remains Buhari.
They're one and the same.

This is just one of the reasons Nigeria will NEVER succeed or progress. It is a confirmed fact that the benue mayhem was carried out by herdsmen but here we are, being deceived and lied to by supposed lawmakers and leaders that they are disguised boko haram. REASON: So that we will not see the herdsmen the way they are and for who they are. But already we know that they are the 4th most-deadliest terror group in the world according to the world terror index.
